Elder brother's garrison

"Well...that's true."

"I've separated one-fifth of the ship girls from the naval base and sent them back to human society to transport resources. It takes them about a month to make a round trip. They can't carry a lot of resources, but it's enough for us to fight without restraint. If we're just using them to protect the coastal waters, it's sufficient," Admiral Haoding explained to Xiaobai.

"Ah...I see..." Xiaobai suddenly realized and nodded slightly.

The method that Admiral Haoding used to solve the resource shortage in Chapter 8 was similar to the method that Xiaobai came up with when he was in the garrison.

Chapter 8 of the walkthrough is a secret mission sent by the Admiral's Headquarters.

Strictly speaking...

Before achieving certain progress, Xiaobai and Haoding Admiral cannot reveal the news of exploring Chapter 8 to others.

Therefore, while resource issues are indeed difficult to resolve, they must find solutions themselves.

The solutions devised by Admiral Haoding and Xiaobai were to utilize the ship girls' ship equipment space characteristics to transport combat resources to Chapter 8, given that transportation methods were inaccessible.

This method is very practical and down-to-earth.

However, Lexington pointed out that this method has a drawback that cannot be ignored.

That is inefficiency.

Relying on ship girls to transport resources is simply too slow.

Supply ships, with their enormous cargo space, are a minority. Most regular ship girls, no matter how large their cargo space is, only use it to carry personal belongings.

Actually.

When the loading target shifts from personal items to combat resources, the ship girl's equipment space begins to feel somewhat cramped and compact.

The amount of resources transported by only a small number of ship girls is not enough to match the amount of resources consumed daily by the same number of ship girls.

Moreover, the situation in Chapter 8 is perilous, and most of the ship girls, even if they do nothing, must remain here as a reserve force. The number of ship girls who can participate in the resource transport operation is very limited, which further delays the speed of resource accumulation.

That's why.

That's why Admiral Haoding abandoned the resource-intensive land reclamation plan and instead opted for a long-term combat mode that consumed fewer resources: stationing himself on the coast for defense and slowly accumulating resources. This method could minimize the drawbacks of using ship girls to transport resources...

Think of this.

Xiao Bai secretly glanced at Admiral Haoding a few times, then looked at the fields behind him from afar. In the fields behind Admiral Haoding, the ship girls were working hard and diligently.

Ok……

Previously, my impression of Admiral Haoding was that he was the kind of person who would rush things without thinking, but I didn't expect him to be so good at decision-making...

"Regarding the situation at sea, what are your thoughts, Admiral Lu Lin?" Admiral Hao Ding asked Xiao Bai.

"I...I think Admiral Haoding did a great job..." Xiaobai answered honestly.

"Admiral Lu Lin, what are your plans for Chapter Eight?" Admiral Hao Ding asked Xiao Bai earnestly.

"As for me... well... since I brought relatively few ship girls this time, I shouldn't need to worry about resources for now..." Xiaobai replied, pausing slightly. "Anyway... rather than starting to explore, I'd like to first investigate the distribution of nearby waters and deep-sea amphibious ships... ideally, I could find a good leveling spot similar to the one in Chapter Six."

"Leveling spots?" Admiral Haoding's attention was drawn to Xiaobai's words. He asked curiously, "Admiral Lulin, your ship girls don't need to level up anymore, right? It would be easier to find leveling spots after you've cleared Chapter 8, wouldn't it?"

"Ah... I'm looking for leveling spots in Chapter 8 not to increase the level of my ship girls, but mainly to quickly produce results to show the higher-ups..." Xiaobai said to Admiral Haoding with a smile, "After all, my plan especially needs the approval of the higher-ups."

"Admiral Lu Lin's plan? Does it refer to the land reclamation plan in Chapter Eight?"

"Ah."

"I'm very interested!" Admiral Haoding's eyes widened, sparkling. "Admiral Lu Lin's plan must be even more exciting than mine!"

"I don't know if it's exciting or not... but it's certainly going to be expensive..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek, gave Admiral Haoding an awkward smile, and then coughed lightly twice. "Ahem... but I won't tell you the specific plan yet, Admiral Haoding... and it's not even guaranteed to succeed. Anyway, I'll tell you when I have some results..."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Although Xiaobai didn't tell Admiral Haoding about his bridge and road building plan, Admiral Haoding exclaimed with delight, "I understand! I'll look forward to it! I trust Admiral Lu Lin! I'll put in all my effort and give you my full support when you need me!"

"Thank you..." Xiaobai said gratefully.

"Admiral Lu Lin, if you want to know the situation at the seaside, just go to the coast and find the sentry ship girls I left there when you have time. They will tell you everything they know! But remember to take protective measures before you go. The deep-sea atmosphere there is strong, and you may hurt yourself if you are not careful." Admiral Hao Ding gave Xiao Bai a thumbs up.

"I will."

"Alright! Then, Admiral Lu Lin, do as you please. I'll go back to the fields and continue working!" After saying that, Admiral Haoding excitedly picked up his hoe, let out a loud shout, and then transformed into a black shadow, leaping back into the fields and turning into a human bulldozer, rampaging through the fields.

It seemed that his conversation with Xiaobai had filled Admiral Haoding with strength, as he swung his hoe with several times more force than before.

"I'm sorry... my admiral's personality has always been a bit strange..." Elizabeth apologized to Xiaobai somewhat embarrassedly after Admiral Haoding left.

"It's alright, everything's fine..." Xiaobai waved her hand and smiled at Elizabeth. "Admiral Haoding... he's a very reliable person, he makes you feel very safe!"

Xiaobai's words are the absolute truth.

At least in terms of logistics, Admiral Haoding gives people a great sense of security.

Chapter 1811 How terrifying is the Dean of the Deep Sea, who has lived for five hundred years?

“Thank you so much for understanding…” Elizabeth said gratefully.

"You're welcome, you're welcome," Xiaobai waved her hand.

Xiao Bai is already used to dealing with a bunch of strange people. Among the people Xiao Bai has met, Admiral Hao Ding is actually not the strangest one.

"Admiral Lu Lin, the watchtower on the beach isn't finished yet. If there are no special requests, the rest of us will head back to the beach first," Elizabeth said respectfully to Xiaobai. "If you need anything, Admiral Lu Lin, you can always come to the beach to find me... or just call any of the ship girls in our naval base. You are our benefactor, and the entire naval base will do everything in our power to fulfill your requests, Admiral Lu Lin."

"No need to be so polite... but thank you anyway." Xiaobai nodded to Elizabeth. "Well... as for me, just let me wander around Chapter Eight for a bit and look around. Don't worry about me too much. I'll come find you if I need anything."

"I understand." Elizabeth nodded slightly, gave Xiaobai a gentle smile, and then led the Haoding Naval Base ship girls who had been following her away from the original spot, heading towards the sea.

Xiaobai and Missouri said goodbye to Elizabeth, watching her and the other yellow-hatted ship girls disappear into the distance.

"What a reliable group of seniors, Admiral," Missouri said to Shiro with a smile.

"Yes, they're very reliable..." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. "No wonder they're ship girls from one of the world's top ten naval bases... Just now, when they were with Yamato, I was so afraid they'd recognize Yamato and Super Yamato, I was terrified..."

“Those seniors probably never saw the true faces of Senior Yamato and Senior Super Yamato. Missouri thinks you can rest assured, at least on this point,” Missouri said to Shiro with a smile.

“That makes sense…” Xiaobai nodded.

Although Haoding Naval Base had fought with Mega Yamato, Mega Yamato was shrouded in black mist during the time it was the head of the Deep Sea Command. In the final battle, it even activated its Dynamax form, and its main body was tethered to the top of the cloud. Based on only a few impressions, the ship girls of Haoding Naval Base should not be able to recognize the current soft and cute Mega Yamato.

Xiao Bai felt a little relieved.

"Where is the Admiral planning to go next?" Missouri asked Xiaobai.

"Hmm... anyway, let's go back to the valley first." After thinking for a while, Xiaobai replied to Missouri.

Little White and Missouri left the fields and returned to the valley along the path they had come from.

In the valley.

In front of the three adjacent villas that Xiaobai had chosen, the ship girls of the newbie naval base were bustling in and out.

"Wow! This house matches the style of the tent I brought perfectly!"

"I like this one!"

"Then I'll stay in this room. I just noticed that this room is quite spacious; we can have a cocktail party with other people tonight!"

"All adult ship girls, come to this room! We're having a party tonight! I hereby declare this Washington Villa from this moment forward! Destroyers, begone!"

"We didn't bring any destroyers this time, did we..."

"Yes, in Changchun, isn't it?"

"Look at Changchun's chest and buttocks, do you dare to call her a destroyer!"

"Snapped!"

"Waaaah... Sister Washington, no, don't pat my butt..."

"Look, how can a missile destroyer not be a destroyer!"

"..."

It was quite lively in front of the villa.

Xiaobai and Missouri walked towards the main entrance of the villa in the center, where Akagi, Bismarck, and Hood were gathered together, discussing a map marked with various colored markers.

This map was printed out by Xiaobai from the materials given to him by Admiral Haoding. The map is incomplete, only showing a small area of ​​sea that Admiral Haoding has currently explored, and most of the land area. Before setting off from the garrison, Akagi specifically asked Xiaobai for this map. Now, after studying it, the map is covered with Akagi's handwriting on all the areas, big and small.

"According to the data, the strength of the deep-sea amphibious ships in this coastal area is almost the same as that in the central area of ​​Chapter Seven..." Akagi was explaining earnestly to the ship girls around her.

"The depths of Chapter Eight aren't as strong as I imagined... but the area is much larger than I expected. Judging from the distribution of the coastline and the shape of this small area... the entire area of ​​Chapter Eight is probably twice the size of Chapter Seven, right?" Hood gestured on the map and said to Akagi, "Perhaps even more than three times."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Bismarck stared intently at the map, nodding seriously.

"Bismarck, Hood, Akagi. I'm back." Shiro called out to the three ship girls from afar, and walked over with Missouri.

"Xiao Bai, you're back." Akagi and Hood both looked up and smiled at Xiao Bai. "How's Admiral Haoding doing?"

“Uh… Admiral Haoding has already told me about the sea conditions during this period… and he now has a lot of deep-sea energy mixed in with his body, so he can’t get too close to the coast for a while.” Xiaobai explained regretfully to Hude and Akagi, repeating what Admiral Haoding had just told him about the Deep Sea Dean in Chapter Eight.

After listening to what the young lady said.

Akagi and Hood nodded silently.

“As expected… there is also a Deep Sea Dean in Chapter 8…” Akagi exclaimed, her expression surprisingly unchanged. “Hmm… that makes sense. After all, Chapter 8 is a territory that humans haven’t set foot in for hundreds of years. In such a long time, it’s only natural that a Deep Sea Dean would emerge in this sea area.”

“What I’m more worried about is the strength of this Deep Sea Dean…” Hood reminded Akagi, “The Deep Sea Dean in Chapter Eight might have a lifespan of several hundred years, who knows what he’ll become…”

Hood expressed his concerns about the Deep Sea Dean of Chapter Eight.

“Hmm… Hood makes a lot of sense. After all, he is a deep-sea dean with a lifespan of over 100 years…” Akagi nodded in agreement and murmured.

The Deep Sea Dean is a rather special life form.

The longer the Deep Sea Deans survive, the more powerful their ship equipment becomes, meaning they are stronger. The more they experience, the higher their level of wisdom. Therefore, whether in terms of combat power or tactics, the older they are, the greater the threat they pose...

The Deep Sea Dean in Chapter 1812 likely possesses a lifespan of several hundred years. Deep Sea Deans of this age are extremely rare, even in the grand scheme of human history. Almost every Deep Sea Dean who has reached this level of development is typically ruthless, cruel, and domineering...

"Waaaaah!! That's the comic book I secretly brought here!!" Yamato's screams echoed through the villa.

"Hmph—So you like this kind of manga too, Yamato?" Pachina's arrogant voice echoed through the villa, accompanied by the rustling sound of pages turning.

"Mind your own business! You're someone who lies on the sofa all day, of course you wouldn't understand current trends! Give it back to me!"

"Hmm...hmm? Hmm, hmm..." Pachina seemed to be flipping through the manga, her voice changing from initial ease to surprise, finally emitting a broken "hmm" sound as if she was forcing herself not to be shy. "So this is the kind of manga...Yamato, you're much more of a repressed pervert than I imagined..."

"This comic is really popular at the naval base—ugh! I'm the flagship of the deep-sea expedition! How dare you offend me! I'll... oh well! Anyway, give me back that comic book!"

"I...no...want." Pachina chuckled, her lithe figure flashing past the villa's gate, revealing to Xiaobai a pose of holding a comic book behind her back, bending over and sticking out her tongue in one direction, making a face. "Heh—I'm not giving it back to you. I'm going to show it to Xiaobai later."

"You bastard!!! Are you a demon?! You really are a devil!" Deep Sea Yamato's screams echoed in the villa. Then, a dark shadow flashed through the doorway. Deep Sea Yamato, his face flushed, pounced on Pachina like a leopard. "I understand! Today it's either you or me! Take this! You damned Luji! The moment you said those words, it was destined that there would be an ending between us here!"

Thump thump thump thump—

With lightning speed, Deep Sea Yamato pounced on Pachina, and then the two of them transformed into invincible whirlwind wheels of purple and blue, rolling around on the bare villa floor.

A rolling sound came from inside the villa.

In an instant, the Deepsea Yamato and Pachina got into a fight, using all sorts of underhanded tricks, such as pinching mouths, grabbing breasts, biting cheeks, clamping legs, pinching buttocks, and pulling down underwear. The scene was quite a sight for the Deepsea, which attracted the other Deepsea ships to sit on the side with snacks and watch silently.

Akagi and Hood looked at the scene inside the villa for a long time before silently withdrawing their gazes and exchanging a glance.

“Chicheng,” Hood said.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Hood?" Akagi smiled.

"I don't know why... but I suddenly feel like the Dean of the Deep Sea, who is five hundred years old, is just like that now." Hood said to Akagi, clutching his chest and frowning.

"...You feel the same way?" Akagi raised an eyebrow.

"Ah."

"What a coincidence, me too."

"..."

Hu De and Akagi looked at each other, holding the map. After a few seconds, they reached out and clasped hands, nodding in deep agreement, reaching a consensus, and said in unison.

"Nothing to fear."

Hu Dechicheng clenched his fists tightly, his voice clear and resonant.

“Hmm!” Bismarck nodded, her gaze fixed intently on the map.

Chapter 1813 Forced to Work Oscar

After turning their gaze away from the villa, Hu De and Akagi exchanged a glance, both able to see the感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion or reflection) in each other's eyes.

Hu De and Akagi smiled slightly.

Ok.

Yamato the Deep Sea is a true deep-sea dean who has lived for five hundred years.
